Okay, I figure it's about time I respond here :U I honestly didn't think much about atmosphere/suspense/whatever when making the comic. I'm happy that people feel that there is one anyway, lol.Also, Gorast's appearance/characteristic was loosely based upon that of Snowman from Homestuck, cigarette holder and all. Yeah, the classic noir style was exactly what I aimed for. I'm glad to hear that it worked, too. I was actually wondering whether people would like that theme at all, but I suppose they did! Lol yeah, they're rare, but they do exist.The lettering in general was probably one of my biggest mistakes with this comic... In hindsight, I really should'vedone them by hand. A lesson learned for the next time I'm making a comic, I guess. I listened to that the other day. I don't think I've been that flattered in my entire life, lol. Finally, instead of saying it over and over: Thank you all so much for your comments, I truly appreciate each and every one of them.
